National Forest System Roadless Areas

On October 19, 1999, the Forest Service published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement for a proposed rule for the protection of roadless areas. The notice requested public comment on the scope of the analysis, on possible alternatives, and on whether an exemption should be granted to the Tongass National Forest. On November 10, 1999, the Forest Service published a meeting notice of 10 public scoping meetings around the country. The agency now gives notice of additional local public scoping meetings to be hosted by National Forest offices throughout the United States. A schedule of meeting locations, dates, and times is set out in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice.
